actually i would use notNull() delegate for just marking property as non null instead of lateinit. lateinit is rather a hack that exposes public field for easier dependency injection via frameworks such as Dagger, Spring etc.

deviant: what's wrong with lateinit?
I think not null is just the because lateinit was not when it was added to the stdlib

they are different though. as i said lateinit exposes public field, so it can be acsessible from java directly. on the other hand notNull generates some little overhead, because it is a property delegate. also notNull allows you to use val, that can be useful sometimes
